Apr 7, 2009 Dark pitch black color, with a tan colored head, roasted malt, black coffee nose with a dark chocolatey, roasted coffee bean accent, with a mild molasses, burnt dried dark fruity note of raisins, dates and plums, and a faint licorice spicy aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, molasses, roasted malt, dark chocolate character, with a black coffee, faint mochaish flavor, with a hint of licorice spiciness and burnt fruitiness leading towards a fruity, chocolatey, lingering roasted bitterness finish.

Mar 7, 2007 Alcohol apparent in the nose, a little too much. Roasty and woody aromas. Bitter chocolate and coffee in the flavors, nicely melded, a touch of maple. Body holds together well, even a little slick and oily.

Oct 13, 2007 Pours deep black into a stem glass. Tan micro head subsides to layer surface leaving slight lacing. Deep chocolate and espresso aromas. Smooth with upfront chocolae and a slightly sour fruit finish.

Jun 29, 2007 Updated: Jul 2, 2007Bottle from Quake1028, which was a BONUS! Thanks! Pours black with a brown creamy retentive head. Roasty and chocolately aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor of burnt malts, coffee, and chocolate. Very bitter and dry finish, with some sourness and nutshell flavors at colder temps, and more expresso/ coffee grounds when warm. This is much bettter at cellar to room temperature. This may be a porter in body, but the robustness dances very close to stout territory. Overall, not too bad. I must admit that I was expecting this to be much better.

Nov 26, 2007 500ml from Sam’s, Durham. Nice looking pour with a slightly too-modest head. The aroma is delectable, very chocolatey, and the rich flavors continue in the taste (along with a generous, and fairly unexpected bit of smoke and roast coffee). Lustrous mouthfeel initially, but tapers off and is a bit too thin, I think. Overall, though, it’s a lovely porter with complexity and power.

Feb 26, 2006 Black colour, rich head. Roasty aroma with notes of smoked ham. Roasty flavour with long, bitter aftertaste.
